Description

To improve database updater please see some suggestions by @daniel Kinzler. His suggestion is to instead of using a hook in mediawiki to get the database updater working why not register the hook in the extension or skin itself. It would fix using $GLOBALS.

But things to make sure with this is to make sure it works both in the main php file or extension.json.

From looking at the code it seems like DatabaseUpdates are somehow extracted from the normal hook registry. If we need them separate, they should be registered separately in extension.json, instead of using the generic hook interface.
